STRICT XL Bondage Board BDSM Restraint Board

The STRICT XL Bondage Board is a padded, folding restraint platform with 18 D-rings around its edges, so you can tie a partner down in almost any position and pack the whole thing away afterwards. It's the bigger version of STRICT's original board, long enough for a full-height person to lie out flat. If you want BDSM furniture without giving up a room to it, this is a practical answer.

How the board works

Think of it as a firm, cushioned mat with built-in anchor points. Lay it on the bed or floor, clip your cuffs or rope to the D-rings, and your partner is held in place with no need for bedposts or under-mattress straps. Because the points run along the sides and ends, you can restrain wrists and ankles spread wide, keep arms above the head, or tie the knees apart. The board is wrapped in PU leather over foam on a wooden structure, which gives a solid base that doesn't sag under someone's weight.

Positions on a folding bondage board

The board folds in four sections, and those hinges are what make it versatile. Lay it fully flat for spread-eagle and face-up positions where the bottom's front is completely exposed. Partly fold it to raise the hips for doggy-style, or to create a slope under the chest so the bottom kneels with their upper body supported. Start with simple positions and short sessions, and check in often. Put a pillow under the head or knees where it helps, and give the bottom room to shift their weight slightly, since being held in one shape for long gets uncomfortable faster than you expect.

What you'll need to add

Restraints and chain are not included. You'll need cuffs or rope with clips, and the D-rings accept standard snap hooks and carabiners. Wrist and ankle cuffs that buckle and clip are the easiest to work with. Keep a pair of safety scissors nearby whenever someone is tied down, and never leave a restrained partner alone. Spreader bars, a blindfold and a soft gag all pair well with the board once you're comfortable with the basics, and a padded thigh sling can add another way to hold legs open.

Size and storage

Opened out it measures about 65 inches long and 24 inches wide, and folded it closes to roughly 24 by 16 inches and around 9.5 inches deep. At about 28 pounds it's heavy enough to stay put but manageable to carry with the built-in handles. Slide it under a bed, into a closet or behind a door between scenes.

Care

Wipe the PU leather with a damp cloth and mild soap after each use, then dry it. Avoid oil-based massage products and harsh cleaners on the surface, and keep the board out of direct sunlight so the covering doesn't dry out or crack.
